The Coffee on Call podcast series, developed by the University of Leeds, is designed to guide final-year medical students through the critical transition from student to doctor. The series tackles the real-life challenges you don’t always hear about in textbooks and gives you the tools to feel more prepared and confident as you step into your medical career.
In this episode, foundation doctors discuss effective communication strategies for medical students transitioning into junior doctor roles. They emphasise the importance of clear verbal and written communication, with tips on making phone calls, using structured frameworks like ESAR, and ensuring empathy in stressful environments.
